InstantShareCam

InstantShareCam
Designed for a near future of wireless broadband networks, is a hardware specification and software application allowing groups of people, each with a camera, to shoot and edit videos collaboratively and ‘on the fly’. Simple controls on each camera, and an intuitive interface on its screen, allow each to see what the others are shooting and decide between themselves which stream takes precedence.

What's Needling Net Users?

A new survey from 2,500 adult consumers throughout the US were asked to identify things that annoyed them about commercial Web sites.

34.9% : Pop-up ads
16.5% : Requirement to register and Log-on before viewing
15.7% : Requiring the installation of extra software to viewing
9.1% : slow-loading pages
4.7% : Deadlines
4.1% : Confusing navigation (too many clicks or hard to find)
3.1% : Content Outdate
2.6% : No contact information available
2.0% : Music that plays automatically
1.7% : Inability to use the browser's BACK button
1.6% : ineffective search tool
1.5% : Overdone (too much flash screens or animation)
0.9% : Text that moves
0.3% : New window for link
0.3% : Poor appearance (colors, fonts, formart)

If a Web page is irritating, consumers are quick to respond. Over 75% of respondents said they were "extremely" or "somewhat" likely to not visit an offending site again, and three-fourths of users expressed some degree of likelihood about unsubscribing from the offending company's promotional messages. Around 70% of users said they might refrain from making purchases at that Web site, view the company in a negative way or even refrain from making purchases in the company's offline stores. Interestingly, only 25% voiced any intention to complain to the company.

有意思的一編 - CopyFrom 牛肉's Hompy

追得上泡沫嗎?

這個感覺就像五、六年前一樣,半年之內很多dot com又開始活躍。

上至email由1GB去到無限容量;
中至香港彈丸之地都有不下數十網上遊戲運作;
下至近來dot com玩的概念頗多新招;
mobile, radio, gprs, wap, personal identity, blog, avatar, friends network, matching...
還有遙遠得誇張的,是maps.google及earth.google之類...

當dot com八成地傾向主力靠廣告,讓user盡情免費;
當曾穩當地收取月費的遊戲都免費任玩,再收雜費;
當地面傳媒忽然四份免費派發報刊,再靠廣告維生。
甚至當你自己也未知有乜用,但免費又幾過癮好用的東西一地都係的時候...

免費及泡沫的季節又週而復始...
(縱使在一直好地地收開錢、或是近一兩年大家開始肯為internet付費的情況下。)

第一水,得益的可能是用戶,然而當免費午餐派到入肉的時候呢?
(應該叫第二水,因為第一水在五、六年前出現過了...)

我是支持免費的,當營運者有model起碼回本的情況下。
某些概念經由不多不少的金錢實踐,甚至有些不計成本不求回報...將概念出左先算...
這卻頗令人頭痕...

站在internet相關的工作崗位,對這走勢相當惶恐,
就好像覺得自己正處於世代交替的交叉位置一樣,
衛星圖睇哂成個地球呀大佬,當個畫面由太空zoom in入hong kong時,
我覺得世界非常泡沫之餘,自己亦開始唔屬於主流的世代。

五六年前我還勉強說得出blog或avatar等概念,
但今日幾大巨頭連衛星都玩的時候,
我連概念也不敢擁有...out lu 也許,在這行業及世界。
(其實仲有少少水尾概念架我,費時講埋出黎就冇value咋,唔好炒我住)

我們三十歲以上的較少上網;然後三十歲以下的非上網不可,
東不成西不就的行業還真難行。
相信不久將來,當現在的年輕人長大為世界話事的時候,
泡沫就會是時候變得較健康一些。(能源或暖化問題也夠他們頭痕)

兩個internet終極極端:實用及娛樂,並駕齊驅的景象將會怎樣?

The Island 謊島叛變

原本對呢類型主題沒有多大的興趣相信...大多拍成爛片/特技片。
但係見到有 Michael Bay, Ewan Mcgregor, Scarlett Johansson.......
不其言心裡有點期待.....
希望不會讓我失望吧

AIDA and Internet Advertising

一個成功的廣告可從以下四點出發.. Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action.

很多TVC只可以做到頭兩點..這與tvc只有數十秒有關..不是人人都可以"一見鍾情"嘛!

而Internet AD 則可連接 Interest 及 Desire. (當然,Target Audience 要是 Internet user啦.)

如何做到? 重覆出現user interest/neutral 的 ad, 就可以"日久生情".(Exposure Effect*).

怎樣知道user's favourites?
這就是為何yahoo, msn 在登記時要user填問卷了.
那麼..Google,這種沒member的website呢? 就是靠內容分類了.
user 喜歡那類內容, 就會看多一些那類廣告.

現在你應該明白,supporting ad放在portal主頁未必較放在內容中有效了.

最後一步. 連接 Desire 及 Action:
Shopping cart 就是最好連接 Desire 及 Action 的產品了!!
所以設計一個shopping cart要很直接.越不會減少Desire 越好.

*Exposure Effect, also known as mere exposure effect, repetition-validity effect, frequency-validity effect, truth effect, and repetition effect. - from mixmedia's blog
